Seriously, I know of a 60+ year old learning computer programming, so what's the big deal about photography? A lot of people pick up hobbies later in life when they've got some financial stability and can indulge in their fancies, and their maturity helps them do a good job of it too.

there is only one limit in photography (and life)...that is how much you are willing to dream.

zaren - you the man!!! that is so true when talking about one's inner self!! i totally agree that as photography enthusiast, there are no limits except one's self!!

but as a profession, it might be a little different, as the external perspective is also important in the business world. how ppl view and perceive you determines how they would engage you. Thatís why ppl want to see a portfolio, ask to go for interviews, etc. although there is no age limit per se, but the portfolio, experience, and confidence to become a professional takes time to establish (some quicker than others).

"Bloke" is as common a slang as calling someone "guy" or "dude" in England or Australia. Different cultural context.

I don't think there is any practical age limit to photography, as long as the ability to use a camera (hands, legs, eyesight) is there.
Photography is all about fun! If someone finds photography enjoyable, age should not be a barrier.

Actually, I come 2 realize I've d interest in photography right after my wedding!!
That's why I feel a bit late 2 start with... I was inspired by my actual wedding day photographer indeed. And, I'm so crazy... Bought a new D70s yesterday!
